Bahram Chah (Pashto/Persian: بھرامچه) is the center of Dishu District in the southern part of Helmand Province, Afghanistan. Bahram Chah's terrain is carved with sprawling channels that make for ideal ambush spots by Taliban fighters. Along one of many desolate dirt roads in Bahram Chah, bordered by a mountain on one side, the Taliban choose to launch their devastating attack against the Afghan Police convoy on October 10, 2005.
